49 days till Halloween [video] back-dated to the 13th

HELLO, SAFFRON CITY!

_{[Noise all up in your gear today. There is a happy old dude standing in a train station with his gear half sideways. He's in that goofy Hawiian shirt again and he's got sunglasses perched on his head.]

[It's not even sunny but THIS IS WHAT YOU WEAR WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION, DARN IT.]}

I decided to take the train instead of walking and I'm glad I did! I've never ridden anything that went so fast! I do plan on walking to Lavender in a few days, though. I'm curious to see what Kanto has to offer.

So! What's a body do in Saffron City?

Do that.

I'll come get ya.

_{[And so he stayed still.]

[Or as still as an excitable ex-skeleton could. He hadn't wandered far from the entrance. Just far enough to get a good look at one of the towering buildings. It almost felt like Saffron and Goldenrod were one big city.]}

_{[Okay, Jack has to admit it, her excitement over the train is pretty adorable.]}

I wouldn't call it a party exactly, but I'd recommend it for sure! I think I'm going to take the boat back home.

_{[It didn't take TOO long for Heather to show her fluffy dandelion head.]

[But preceding HER arrival was a flutter of blue-black that swooped in the entrance and alighted on top of one of the little lamp posts, preening.]

[Then it looked at Jack and said:]}

SHITLORD.

_{[It took a moment for Jack to notice the bird pokemon because he was so enchanted with the city, but when he did he smiled. 83 He'd always loved them.]

[And then it called him a shitlord.]}

EXSCUSE ME?

[Absolutely nothing. Mun is just unsure of whether or not the gyms follow game logic or not when it comes to the puzzles.]

It's an interesting one, trust me. So how long are you planning to vacation over here? Just long enough to visit the ghosts?

That's the plan, but I haven't been here three years only to never learn that plans don't always go according to-- ah, plan.

[He laughs at that.]

But that's half the fun of this place, am I right?

After years of planning Halloween over and over, this place sure shook things up, that's for sure.

Mmm, I hear you on that. Well...not the Halloween planning thing, that's all you there. But it definitely made for a nice change.

Were there boats and trains where you come from? [ curious, curious! it seems like most people come from more advanced worlds though. ]

There are! They don't go nearly as fast as the one here does--the train I mean.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll let you know when I've made it to Lavender Town!

_{[Fortunately, before the charming animal on the post had a chance to call him anything else, its trainer showed up.]}

Hey!

Jack!

_{[COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT HER BIRD HAD JUST CALLED HIM A SHITLORD, Heather was jogging over from the entrance to the station, grinning.]}

_{[Jack turns to face Heather with a look that suggests some stranger just walked by and smacked him right in the face.]}

Oh! Glad you made it! Your, ah, friend came to keep me company. It's wonderful to see you! Have you gotten any taller?

Oh yeah, Wren flew ahead! Glad she found ya.

_{[Slowing to a halt next to the old man, Heather gives him a friendly (gentle) punch on the shoulder.]}

Har har. I'm done growing.

_{[Deciding to forget about Wren and her vocabulary for now, Jack makes a show out of rubbing his FEEBLE OLD ARM and stooping to the side after she's punhced him. He's grinning all the while though.]}

I'm an old man, Miss Mason! I'll fall apart! Now, where's this coffee place?

I was thinking of taking on Whitney, give the guys a challenge. 'Reckon yours would be up for a little dancin'?

No you won't, you've got SKIN now, you giant baby.

_{[She laughs, though, and gestures to the entrance as she starts to walk.]}

It's not too far. Just a few blocks away, next to the Pokemon Center.

_{[Wren swoops down to land on her trainer's head, croaking. She gives Jack a smug look as she does. c:<]}

_{[He follows her, still grinning. He's keeping an eye on Wren though. He has half a mind to call out his own bird to keep her in check but knows that might just end up making it worse.]}

The train ride was excellent! I can't wait to see Lavender Town. I've been wanting to go there almost since day one. It's so strange to think how long ago that was...

_{[... Yeah, it... probably would. Wren plays well with others, but not really in a way that others appreciate. As Jack has probably guessed.]}

Yeah? It sure is somethin', isn't it? Beats the hell out of the subway trains back at home.

I'm not...entirely sure we had trains when I was alive. I know I haven't ridden any since I've been dead. If we needed to go anywhere, we just used the graveyard. There's a first time for everything!

Seriously? No trains?

I didn't know you were that old.

Halloween has been around a long, long time. Maybe not in the way we think about it today, but...

I'm sure they would! I haven't challenged Whitney yet. I can't stand a poor sport.
